Three Demons - Foundation of our Lunar Psyche (111)

Introduction

Master Samael says in his book “The Mountain of Juratena” that the three demons together form the lunar foundation of our psychology.

Just to expand a little upon what Master Samael says: what I think Master Samael is saying is that the three demons which are the demon of desire, the demon of the mind and the demon of ill-will are the ones that together make up lunar structure and characteristics that our psychology has. We all know from previous posts that our psychology in character esoterically speaking is qualified as Lunar. So then the foundation of our psychology is made up by the three demons.

I hope to shed a bit more light on this revelation by Master Samael.


Three Demons Control the World

Can we be so bold to say that the three demons, that is the demons of: desire, the mind and ill will are the factors that control or are at the base of humanity’s thinking processes?

Certainly with all the bad things that happen here on Earth and knowing full well that before things are carried out by any human being there is a thinking process, we have to say without any doubt that instigating and motivating the thinking processes that are behind all the bad things that are done by human beings to other human beings and to nature, are these three demons. We can not think of anything else, definitely nothing better or more refined than the three demons.

Harming another human being is ill will, planning to do it is the demon of the mind and the deep motivation to do it because of a deep desire for money, power, control etc. is the demon of desire.

These three demons can be seen so clearly in the actions carried out by the governments of the world. This is simply because the governments of the world are run by human beings and in every human being (except those who have eliminated them) are the three demons in their psychology.


Examples

If you look carefully into every egoic manifestation (lust, anger, greed, pride, envy, laziness, gluttony etc.) that you have, that if you get angry over something you will find desire, mind and ill-will without a doubt. Anything lunar in us is characterised by these three demons or columns.


Conclusion

The three demons are present in us here and now and the more we study them the more we will come to understand that they are behind so much of pour psychological processes – well 100% of our egoic processes and as we are no different to our fellow human beings they are in them as well, just as they are in us. With the understanding of them will come the need to make conscious and voluntary heart felt efforts to dissolve them.


End (111).

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
